Steyr Motor Offers Lightweight Design
November 4, 2003
Mid-size work boats, fast RIBS and rescue and patrol boats can
benefit greatly from gas-to-diesel repowers. For these applications,
Steyr Motors of Austria offers its unique, 212-hp model 236 turbocharged
diesel engine.
Steyr's muscular 6-cylinder Monoblock design and lightweight
components provide the innovative engines with possibly the best
weight-to-horsepower ratio of any marine diesel engine line on the
market today.
Utilizing an electronically controlled engine management system
and patented, two-stage Unit Injector fuel injection, the Steyr 236 has
developed a reputation for immediate response, impressive acceleration
and reduced fuel consumption. The dual-circuit cooling system meets
current and future emissions standards and employs corrosion-resistant
materials to ensure long life of the entire seawater system.
Other important features include hardened valve seats, an
elastic coupling on the flywheel to reduce vibration, a 14-volt/90-amp
alternator and the ability to be coupled with MerCruiser Bravo I, II or
III stern drives.
